Mike.
"What are you talking about?!" I yelled, scooting to the edge of my seat. My mom's eyes closed when I yelled, and she looked to be in so much stress. But I can't bring myself to care in this instant.
"Listen, Mike, just stay calm. It'll all be ok," Chief Hopper assured, but I shook my head and sat back angrily.
"It won't. You're letting him do this, Mom?" I yelled again, and she gave me a firm look.
"I suggested this, Michael," She spoke just as firm, and I gave her a confused look. "I can't handle this, Michael, I'm sorry."
"What the hell, Mom?" I can't believe she's doing this to me. She gave me a surprised look, but Mrs. Byers started talking before anything could happen.
"Listen, Mike, it'll be ok, I promise. We'll make sure she has everything she needs and you can come over whenever you want."
"She needs me! She's not comfortable around other people! And she can't sleep alone, she's too scared!" I yelled in her defense. And mine, honestly. I'm pinning it on her but I'm not sure I could live away from her after all those months of torture. I need her as much as she needs me.
"Mike, this isn't up for discussion. Eleven will stay with Joyce," Chief Hopper spoke loudly, and I continued to look around in disbelief. Are they seriously doing this?
"Fine, but give her a few days. I'll help her learn to sleep alone. And we can come over to your house every day and get her used to it. Just don't make her leave tonight, she'll just leave and come back here," I spoke glumly, truly not happy at all. But I can't argue with the Chief, he's in charge.
"Fine, you have until Friday." The Chief nodded, and I nodded back sadly. I stood up and immediately went downstairs, not ready to break the news.
